SOS: Preserving Biodiversity Around The World

SOS: Preserving Biodiversity Around The World

By NPR

Plants and animals across the world are struggling for many reasons. Most of those reasons are caused by human activities. But within the last 50 years, we've taken some steps to try and ease that.

Some places like Gorongosa National Park have the world's most hopeful stories of wildlife recovery. And that recovery is just as important to wildlife as it is to the community.

There are a few international bodies dedicated to biodiversity conservation: IPBES, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP 15), CITES. Those organizations don't include each country's own plan for conservation.

For this episode of our series, "SOS: Save Our Species." We take a closer look at how these organizations work together.
